Google today gives you two ways to improve your in-car infotainment experience. The Android Auto route requires you to connect your Android phone to your car’s infotainment system, either physically or wirelessly, to mirror apps, while cars with Android Automotive OS have Google’s operating system built directly into the vehicle. Some take Automotive’s convenience a step further by using Google Automotive Services (GAS) on top of Android Automotive. Those drivers can soon expect a major upgrade to their in-car app and app discovery experiences.
The tech giant announced today that a new app experience is coming to cars with Google built-in, and it should deliver new in-car media features, new apps, and a redesigned Google Play experience.
